Blessed is the pilgrim, who in every place, and at all times of this his banishment in the body, calling upon the holy name of Jesus, calleth to mind his native heavenly land, where his blessed Master, the King of saints and angels, waiteth to receive him. Blessed is the pilgrim who seeketh not an abiding place unto himself in this world; but longeth to be dissolved, and be with Christ in heaven.

Remember, your prerogative is to govern, and not to serve the things of this world.

Always be ready; always live in such a way that death can never find you unprepared.

It is futile to wish for a long life, and then to give so little care to living well.

Simplicity reaches out after God; purity discovers and enjoys Him.

If thou hadst simplicity and purity, thou wouldst be able to comprehend all things without error, and behold them without danger. The pure heart safely pervades not only heaven, but hell.

Out of two evils, the less is always to be chosen.
